At Root Connections Counseling, I focus on grief and bereavement, couples work and sex therapy, as well as men's work and redefining masculinity. As a bilingual therapist, I offer my services in both English and Spanish. The name Root Connections comes from my philosophy of psychotherapy. Oftentimes, we patch up larger fixes with temporary Band-Aid solutions. At Root Connections, we aim to drop deeper into the root of the issue, finding solutions from the ground up. When we heal our roots, we can walk away with a richer sense of self and strength for all areas of life.

Join me on a collaborative and solution-oriented journey to find your full meaning, potential and passion.

Offering play based therapuetic services to adults, children, families, teens, and parents. This unique therapeutic practice allows individuals to deepen relationship to self and others while exploring their internal world to uncover areas that may be of challenge and strife. Building awareness around such place within creates a natural movement towards healing. Once we begin to understand ourselves more clearly, we can then begin to understand how we relate to others. Our play process engages and encourages this exploration, revealing your inner essence. This process trusts that you have the answers to your biggest hurdles, we are just hear to guide you on that journey.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist currently studying AEP with Betty Cannon. As a result of my own powerful experience with therapy, I began a journey to seek out the most skilled teachers from all over the world, from India to Illinois, from Buddhist meditation to behavioral psychology, to help me open up, take risks, and allow myself to be vulnerable. These experiences have humbled me, given me a profound respect for the courage it takes to grapple with what life brings our way, and has enabled me to provide the kind of space for my clients that was provided for me.

I work with individuals and groups and the majority of my practice is based on AEP techniques. Currently, I am offering services on a sliding scale/income based fee structure. See www.shannonmharrison.com for more information.

As a therapist, I believe in the power of change. In order to foster the process of change, the client must develop a trusting, therapeutic relationship with their provider. I strive to create a safe, comfortable space for you to work toward self-improvement. We will collaborate to develop the tools you need in order to make the changes you seek in your life. It is my hope that through therapeutic intervention you will feel empowered and find new ways of thinking, behaving, feeling, and develop a strong sense of self. Most importantly, I believe in giving yourself a fresh start; a second chance; an opportunity to turn over a new leaf​. I work with adolescents and adults and provide individual, couples, and family therapy services. I specialize in a variety of areas including mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.
